In todays age we get stressed way to fast and retain Anxiety way to easily thru the day. I think we can share with each-other all the different strategies that help us let go in these types of situations. Please name anything that works every time in helping you destress and relax?
People always say they want simple products. Bloat is a big reason people dislike products and migrate away from existing tools. But I don't think that bloat comes from having too many features. Instead, it's mostly a UI/IA problem.
This is something we think about a lot at @Basedash. Analytics and BI can get complicated quickly: permissions, SQL, charts, dashboards, filters, joins, data sources, teams, sharing, alerts, and so on. We can t remove all of that complexity, because real teams eventually need it. Instead, we're trying to figure out how/when to reveal that complexity. Filters only appear if you ask the AI. Access controls can get super fine-grained, but only if you start inviting more teammates.
Everyone here has a primary skill or a field of knowledge they're versed in. What I'm interested in is are you working on sharpening any additional skills or are you committed to working on what you're confident with. In my case, development was where I started many years ago, but currently, I'm trying to improve my writing skills!
Hey makers, Marketing manager forcing me to implement KPIs, but I don't get along with metrics and staff. At this stage we can't even have this metrics. Are there any hacks we can set up for setting and tracking KPIs for early stage startup?
I was one of those people who actually used the Touch Bar When I switched Macs, I missed having volume and brightness right under my fingers, so I tried a few trackpad shortcut apps.
That got me thinking about which gestures I d actually want to change from app to app. I d want volume to work the same way everywhere. But I could see myself using the same swipe to switch tabs in my browser and skip a song in Music. I m curious whether that would feel natural after a few days or whether I d keep mixing them up.
If you ve set up gestures or shortcuts that change depending on the app, which ones actually stuck? Anything you ended up changing back?
I'm a solo developer. In August I launched a small side project here, and it was never featured, so it couldn't rank at all. It finished with 0 upvotes and 1 comment. My earlier launch, a job-search tool, got only a few upvotes back in July.
Looking back, I think I made two mistakes. I launched without checking whether it would be featured, and I didn't spend any time in the community beforehand. Since then I've been active here daily for about three months.
For makers whose launches were featured: what did you change in your listing (tagline, gallery, first comment, topics) that you think made the difference? I'm especially curious whether anything specific helps a niche or experimental product get featured.
I have to admit I m a tragedy when it comes to being first at trying new technology or so which means I ve fallen for more scams and shady situations than I d like to count.
(At least I can warn my friends and family before they make the same mistakes, so that's the only advantage.)
I decided to share some best practices I regret not doing sooner:
